Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface., To make the dough by hand: Grate or shred the cheese; you should have about 1 cup. Toss it together with the flour., Add the cream, stirring to make a cohesive dough. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface., Pat the dough into a disc 3/4" to 1" thick; the thicker the disc, the taller the biscuits., Use a 2" cutter (or the size of your choice) to cut rounds. Place the biscuits on an ungreased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
